A Closer Look at Prepectoral Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: A Matched-Pair Comparison of Direct-to-Implant versus 2-Stage Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Direct-to-implant (DTI) reconstruction offers several advantages over the 2-stage implant-based breast reconstruction approach. However, the outcomes of prepectoral reconstruction are debated. Many previous studies contained co…

Patient-Reported Outcomes of Primary Cleft Rhinoplasty: A Long-Term Assessment Using CLEFT-Q.
ObjectiveRhinoplasty maneuvers at the time of cleft lip (CL) repair remain controversial. Particularly, the impact of primary rhinoplasty (PR) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and quality of life (QoL) is largely unknown. This study aims…

Bilateral Cleft Lip Severity Index in primary cleft rhinoplasty: Correlation with anthropometric outcomes and layperson perception.
[BACKGROUND] The Bilateral Cleft Lip Severity Index (BCLSI) was developed to predict outcomes among patients who underwent bilateral cleft lip (CL) repair. However, its utility among cleft patients undergoing bilateral repair with primary r…

Patient Reported Outcomes Pre- and Post-Surgery in Patients With Cleft Lip/Palate: An Assessment of Post-Operative Change Utilizing CLEFT-Q.
ObjectiveTo evaluate how patient-reported outcomes change from pre- to post-operation after common procedures in patients with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), as well as compared to patients who did not undergo surgery.DesignRetrospective c…

Prepectoral versus Submuscular Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: A Matched-Pair Comparison of Outcomes.
[BACKGROUND] Implant-based breast reconstruction is the most common reconstructive approach after mastectomy. Prepectoral implants offer advantages over submuscular implants, such as less animation deformity, pain, weakness, and postradiati…
